Impressive, regardless of bar width.
In really funky, deep, 180º hairpin turns I have found I can tap the pavement with my mirror. It's more road shape than my riding ability.

I think draggin your helmet is more impressive [bow_down]
Fast forward to the 1:00 time mark.

It's the new Tactical riding gear it improves stealthiness on sunny days.
On a more related topic Supermoto's are the funnest thing on two wheels below 70mph. I get to ride my brothers SXV550 every now and then I turn into a hyperactive school boy who can't sit still [Dolph]
Why stop at 70mph?
